This is great, though I would just to put a little technical caveat on it if you're thinking of copying this approach: Looks like he's using a Bose Tonematch mixer with presumably a Bose L2 column speaker system standing BEHIND him on the stage - I think you get a glimpse of it at around 5 seconds in. This makes a huge difference as when he's adjusting the sound he's hearing the same thing that he audience would hear. He's kind of simulating being in the front row of the audience I guess. Just in case you're planning to do this with a traditional 'big box' PA setup with the speakers in FRONT of you - that's not going to go nearly as well as you're not hearing what the audience are. Still, fair play for turning a boring technical process into a fun icebreaker. More time at the bar I guess!!
The beauty of the Bose column PAs. The Tonematch mixer is pretty simple to use for self mixing. Interestingly Bose recommends you get right on the mic. Lips on the windscreen. Not 5 inches away. But whatever works for you.
Yes very informative And it helps to have nice kit to help things along The sound guy I work with uses a tablet to get the stage sound and do the live mix off when not at the console ( what your not seeing here is the off stage gear ) but it’s a handy peice of equipment
A wealth of knowledge imparted with unpretentious wit and intelligence.
Thank you, Sir.
Formed a close relationship with everyone in the room in 5 mins , giving his art so much more meaning , amazing work 👍
Now that's probably the best way to start a gig. Brilliant!
That was really well done. Include and entertain the audience in this step.
Not gonna lie...if I was still playing live...I would totally steal his bit...never thought about it that way but absolutely brilliant.
Never thought that a sound check could be so entertaining 😅
Best "Liver" I've had in a long time. Thanks Mate! ✌
Incredible....I play with a small band and learnt soo much....Thank You

And... that's how you do it! Good job explaining it, Steve.
Thanks for all the brilliant information , I have learned a lot so the next time my the band The Rockers hit the stage we will be ready to roll
A round of applause from a really thankful soundguy ☺️
Well done, and glad it is not always our fault 😉
Good grief this is phenomenal
Rather insightful I would say.
I really enjoyed that. Very informative and funny.
So well done and entertaining.
Thoroughly enjoyed this!
Use the Bose Tonematch with the Bose L2..And I found this useful as you play with the Tonematch..Thanks for this.
Nice walkthrough ;-)
With Fava beans and a nice Canti!!!!
